Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The homeowners looked under their home and found water pooling on their old 6 Mil vapor barrier. There was mud and falling insulation throughout. The exterior entrance had a rotting wooden doorway. We replace the entrance with a new EverLast entryway. We then did a full encapsulation with a TripleSafe sump pump, TerraBlock insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, Spray Foam insulation along the foundation walls, and SaniDry dehumidifier. This system has warranties to ensure these products keep this space dry and healthy. 

We love transforming dirty, neglected crawl spaces into pristine, professionally waterproofed areas that help protect the health and longevity of families and their homes. John's crews have been waterproofing and repairing crawl spaces in the PNW for over 50 years, making us the company to call for all things crawl space! Crawl space encapsulation is the best solution in the industry. It seals, waterproofs, and insulates the space entirely, fully transforming the area into a clean, dry space. Clean air inside of your crawl space is of paramount importance, as 40% of the air inside of your home, comes from below-grade. This means that whatever is beneath your home, is also inside of it. If your crawl space contains rodents, mold, or bacteria, then microscopic air particles from those toxins are seeping into your home through your floors everyday. This is a reality for many homeowners, as crawl spaces often are overlooked and not properly managed. This is where we come in! John's specializes in encapsulation. We use the highest quality, professional-grade waterproofing components available, and our crews are dedicated to providing WOW service every step of the way. When installation is finished, homeowners can expect to save up to 40% per year on energy costs, and with proper yearly maintenance. With an Encapsulated crawl space, the structural stability of home is protected, ensuring that the soil beneath the home is dry and strong, and that moisture cannot damage the structural framing of homes. Additionally, these professionally sealed and insulated spaces work behind the scenes everyday, deterring rodents, preventing mold growth, and maintaining a safe air quality at all times - allowing families to thrive in health and stability for many years. If your crawl space is in need of a tune-up, give our office a call, and we will schedule your Free Inspection with one of our highly trained Design Specialists!

When your crawl space is dark, humid and filled with debris it can attract pests and rodents. It can also cause poor air quality and raise energy bills due to poor insulation. These homeowners were wanting to create a healthy home environment, so they reached to John's Waterproofing to get a free estimate and inspection. One of our knowledgeable system design specialists then met with the homeowners after the inspection to go over the best options for this space. They decided encapsulation was the best choice for this space. We begin by removing all the debris and insulation in the space. Since there was not a lot of water entering the space, we install our SmartDrain system. This will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and drain the water away into a drywell underneath the CleanSpace until the homeowner can fix the leak. Next we install our TerraBlock system directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space to create an insulated barrier between the home and the earth and this will prevent moisture from making its way up through the crawl space floor. On top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace system. This 20 mil woven barrier goes on the crawl space floor, all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists. It is then sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. We also make sure all the vents in the crawl space are completely sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering. To control the environment, we install our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This will effectively eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air all while keeping the space at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly to finish this space we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and will fill every crack and void ensuring a complete airtight seal, protecting the home for years to come. 

Encapsulating your crawl space with our system will leave your crawl space looking bright, clean and waterproofed! All while benefiting your indoor air quality and energy bills! If you have a nasty, wet or unhealthy crawl space, encapsulating it with our cleanspace system is the way to go!

This customer called with concerns of water in their crawlspace and had seen us at a home show. When our design specialist went out they found water and moisture in the crawlspace, when left untreated it can cause mold and wood rot problems to your crawlspace. Our crew went out and cleaned all the debris and old worn vapor barrier out. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and rip-resistant. To help keep the water from pooling in the crawlspace we installed Smart Sump and a new discharge line to make sure the water that is pumped out does not come right back in. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that keeps humidity levels down which stops the moisture and also filters out mold spores, dust, and other allergens. This customer was so happy that they now have a dry and clean crawlspace and peace of mind that the foundation of their home is protected for years to come.
